Research: Acting

 What is Acting?

  Acting as one of the most important elements of mise en scene to analyze. How a character act can tell you what their personality traits are. In some movies you have characters like Geston, from Beauty and The Beast, who portrayed as a narcissistic character. You have people like Rocky Balboa, from the Rocky trilogy, who is portrayed as an earnest and driven character. Acting also allows the audience to relate to some characters, if the acting is done well.

  The Rocky franchise if notorious for being a motivational film. The movie attracted people who felt like they were being physically and mentally defeated. As a result, the movies were deemed as classics and will always be cherished for its dramatic storytelling and gravitating character. Rocky Balboa started off as an underdog that wanted to improve his way of living. This attracted many middle-class media consumers who felt the same way. To me, Rocky is the perfect example of how impactful phenomenal acting can be to the audience.

Camera Angles Slide PowerPoint Presentation

   The last time that I did a post on camera angles, it was on a storyboard. Me and my team had to draw pictures of different camera angles. What makes this post different is that this time we had to take pictures and put them on a slide presentation. Me and my team had fun taking pictures and utilizing them in the most creative way possible. Moreover, in the process, we learned more about camera angles and their significance to film and photography, in general.   The slide above was about a low-level shot. We talked about the meaning and significance of a low-level shot. By the way, the person we used in the picture tried his hardest to not break character. The shot had to be retaken at least three to four times. Moreover, we used a story about a student bumping into a taller student as a way of making the shot make sense.   Moreover, in the slide above, we did an eye-level shot.
